Introducing Harry.....

Last Friday I received a phone call from the dog wardens asking me if SHAK would take on a stray that they had picked up that morning. What met my eyes was the dog in these photographs. Harry as he has been called by Karen is the most emaciated dog we have ever had, and although I have worked with worse, his condition is painful to us to see so we can only begin to imagine what he feels like.

I'm delighted to say that once again Karen and Mike have come up trumps, and Harry moved into their house first thing Saturday morning. The vets believe his health to be fine apart from a slight heart murmur probably due to his condition, and that he is the way he is because of horrendous neglect. He weighed in last Saturday at 12.3kg.

Harry has had a good week, with a lot of TLC and small feeds often. I will keep you updated on his progress.

Who We Are.....

And What We Do.....

Celebrating its 10th anniversary on June 19th 2016, SHAK has come a long way since its founder Stephen Wylie uttered those fateful words ‘never again...’ after the shock death of his dog and best friend Shak.

The hundreds of dogs whose lives have been changed because of that loss is testament to a dog that had a lasting imprint on everyone he met.....

Today the registered charity has approximately 70 dogs inits care, offering sanctuary to the ones that really need it or a place to simply become a dog again for others.

Working only with destruction cases from vets, strays anddogs from our trusted charity partners, SHAK does not take in dogs from members of the public. Likewise we are not a rehoming centre, although we do offer the opportunity for people to apply for our Forever Foster project.

We concentrate all of our time, energy and resources directly into the well being of our dogs, enriching lives that others had written off.....

Keep Calm
